SEATTLE and DUBLIN, March 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- 48-Hour Sale Starts Tomorrow; All PopCap Proceeds Go To
Earthquake-Stricken Japan Via Red Cross Donation
PopCap Games, the worldwide leader in casual games, today announced that
it is discounting the prices of the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad adaptations
of all of its games including Bejeweled(R), Bookworm(R), Chuzzle(R),
Peggle(R) and Plants vs. Zombies(TM) for 48 hours to raise funds for
earthquake-stricken Japan. Partnering with the Red Cross, PopCap will donate
all of its revenues from the sale, which begins Saturday March 19 at 12:01
a.m. PDT and ends at midnight PDT on Sunday March 20. The price of each
iPhone and iPod touch title is reduced to US99 cents during that time, while
the iPad adaptations are reduced to US$1.99. Consumers can purchase the games
via the Apple App Store or by going to PopCap.com.
"We recently opened an office in Tokyo, and while our Japan-based
employees are safe and uninjured, we understand countless others in Japan
need food, shelter, and medical attention," said Ellen Marett, Senior
Director of Workforce Culture at PopCap. "Given that Plants vs. Zombies
reached #1 on the iPhone and iPad sales charts in Japan, it seemed like the
most appropriate game to feature in this fundraising campaign."
